Children of Loulan

Chapter 421 Sick

When in front of his elders or in a crowded place, he would deliberately restrain his behavior and behave like a humble, polite and law-abiding young man; but once facing those who are weaker than himself, his dandy nature hidden deep in his heart would be exposed, and he would instantly transform into a rude and unreasonable young man who would act recklessly.

Many people in the palace knew about his character! Not only did the noble children who studied with him in the palace know it well, but even the other palace maids and eunuchs were familiar with it.

However, surprisingly, no one dared to report his evil deeds to King Cheng. The reason for this can be traced back to an incident that happened earlier.

There was once a poor fellow who, after suffering so much bullying and torture from King Cheng, could no longer endure it. He also knew that King Cheng had always been very strict with him, so he thought that if he could find King Cheng to make the decision, perhaps he could get justice.

So, this man, full of grievances and hopes, was anxious to go to King Cheng to appeal for justice. But he never expected that before he even met King Cheng, the news had already reached the ears of King Cheng's wife.

The Princess of Cheng has been known for her protectiveness over her children in recent years. After hearing about this, she immediately stopped the person who was looking for the King without saying anything. Not only that, she also used various means to coerce and bribe him.

Poor person who complained, he was weak to begin with, and now faced with such strong pressure from Princess Cheng, how could he have any strength to resist? In the end, he could only admit defeat and swallow his anger.

Since then, the news spread quickly in the palace. Seeing that even filing a complaint would lead to such a fate, who would dare to offend him again? As a result, those who could not afford to offend him racked their brains and tried every possible way to avoid him, fearing that they would become the next victim if they were not careful.

Let's talk about the fifth and sixth princes. According to seniority, they are his elders. But even so, due to the favor of the third prince's wife, they have to give him some face. This has further encouraged his arrogance and made him more reckless. He only knows how to bully the weak and innocent people who are weaker than him.

It took Adi a lot of effort to find the location of the fifth prince. When he arrived at the courtyard, he found that the fifth prince and several eunuchs were gathered in a circle, staring intently at the cricket pot on the ground, and kept shouting: "Go, go, bite him hard, hurry up!" They all stared with their eyes wide open, as if they were also in this fierce battle.

Several guys were very interested in the battle in front of them and watched intently. Suddenly, the fifth prince shouted excitedly: "Great, great! Haha, this prince won again!" He turned his head to look at the other eunuchs with a smug look on his face, raised his chin and said: "Quick, quick, hand over the money to me!"

At this time, one of the eunuchs could not help but complain: "Oh my, my Lord, look, we have only such a small salary every month, and we have lost it all to you. How are we going to live in the future?"

However, the Fifth Prince seemed extremely impatient. He kicked the eunuch and shouted angrily, "Stop talking so much! You guys have food, drink and a place to live in the palace. Why do you need to spend money? Hurry up, don't dawdle, and pay all the money to this prince!"

Although the eunuchs were reluctant, they had to slowly reach into their arms and fumble out a few pieces of silver under the pressure of the Fifth Prince. Seeing this, the Fifth Prince quickly reached out and grabbed all the silver.

Seeing that their round was over, Adi quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the person in front of him, and said softly, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

The fifth prince turned his head slightly and glanced at Adi nonchalantly, then shifted his gaze back to the piece of white silver tightly held in his hand, and asked in a light tone: "It turns out to be you, I haven't seen you for a while. By the way, where is my nephew? Why didn't he come with you?"

Adi quickly bowed his head and replied, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, the Queen Mother has been feeling a little unwell recently, so your Highness has gone to the Queen Mother's bedroom to take care of her."

When the Fifth Prince heard this, he couldn't help but look up, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked hurriedly: "Ah? Grandmother Wang's health is still not getting better? What should we do!"

Adi shook his head gently and said slowly, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, the Queen Mother's condition has not yet improved."

The fifth prince slowly and carefully put the silver in his hand into his arms, then turned around and waved to the eunuchs standing beside him, saying, "Okay, you guys go back first. I will come to play with you another day when I have time."

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs all responded in unison with great respect, "Yes." Then they turned around and walked away in neat steps.

After the eunuchs left, the fifth prince once again looked at Adi and asked curiously, "If that's the case, then why did you come here to look for me?"

Adi said respectfully, "Your Highness has seen that you haven't been to class for several days. So he asked me to tell you about the homework assigned by the teacher today, so that if the king suddenly asks you a question, you will be able to answer it with ease!"

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince nodded slightly to show that he understood. He was pleased and said with emotion, "Well, my nephew is sensible and filial after all! Well, tell me about it quickly. I have to go visit the Queen Grandmother later!"

At this time, in a quiet and peaceful bedroom, Hawuer carefully carried a bowl of steaming hot medicine and slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. He gently scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew it gently, and then put it into the mouth of the old woman lying on the bed. In this way, one spoonful after another, until the whole bowl of medicine was fed.

After the bowl of medicine was empty, Hawul gently put down the empty porcelain bowl in his hand, took a clean white towel from the side, and carefully wiped the residual medicine from the corner of the old woman's mouth. Then, he picked up a crystal clear candied fruit with an attractive sweet fragrance and gently put it into the old woman's mouth.

At the same moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the door of the bedroom. They turned out to be two tall and handsome young men. When they saw each other, they immediately smiled and greeted each other. One of them called out, "Brother Fifth Prince!"

Another person responded with a smile: "It turns out to be the sixth brother!"

"Sixth brother has also come to visit Grandmother Wang?" The young man in gorgeous clothes looked at the person walking beside him with a smile.

"That's right. I heard that Grandmother Wang's condition has not improved in the past few days. I was really worried, so I came here to check on her." Another person responded with a look of concern.

The two walked side by side, chatting all the way into the bedroom. As soon as they entered, they quickly stepped forward, bowed to the kind-looking old woman on the bed, and said in unison: "Grandson greets Grandmother Wang!"
